Mirror's Edge Producer Owen O'Brien Joins CCP for EVE: Valkyrie

After the leaving of Kristoffer Touborg, CCP Games today announced that Owen O'Brien joined EVE: Valkyrie project as executive producer. O'Brien worked for the studio DICE in Stockholm, Sweden, which is owned by EA before joined CCP Games. And he led production of Mirror's Edge, a first-person action game at DICE.

EVE: Valkyrie is a multiplayer spaceship dogfighting shooter set in the EVE universe and is set for release in 2014. The game uses virtual reality to give players the sense of being a real pilot in an EVE Online spaceship and it is the evolution of "EVE-VR".

About his new work, O'Brien said:

"The opportunity to work with a focused, talented and passionate team at the forefront of game-changing technology is a dream scenario for me," said O'Brien. "But it's not just about the technology. This was a project born out of a genuine passion for gaming, and that shows in what the team has already achieved."
